Here is an injury update on Perkins. In the article is also some other small updates on the injured Celtics roster…
Yahoo: Rivers said Friday that Perkins has a 50-50 chance “at best” of playing in Game 5 on Sunday night.
“When I first saw it, I didn’t like what I saw,” Rivers said. “Obviously the injury he had last night could be significant, and we don’t know the results yet. But that’s clearly not looking great right now.”
Update…
Fox Sports: Boston Celtics center Kendrick Perkins said there is a “strong possibility” he can play in Game 5 of the NBA finals, even though he didn’t practice Saturday and appeared to be heavily favoring his strained left shoulder.
“It’s the finals, man. You’ve got to suck it up and go all out,” he said before practice at the Los Angeles Lakers training facility. “I feel like I can go (Sunday night). The doctor feels the same way. There’s a strong possibility I’m playing.”
In the 30 minutes of practice open for reporters to watch, Perkins kept his left arm mostly immobile. He took some warmup shots, as did the rest of the team, but they were one-handed - with his right arm - with his left arm hanging at his side.
“It feels all right, mostly a little sore,” Perkins said. “The doctors said I could do nothing in practice today. I’m going to give it some rest and give it a shot tomorrow. It’s getting better every day.”

it dosnt matter..he is not the one who killed lakers …..
why cant it be posey or house…
That’s fine with me. Give us Game 5. We’ll take being down 3-2 going into Boston. Because…if there is a Game 6, all the pressure will be on Boston to win. They won’t want to go to a Game 7. The Lakers are already in the Game 7 mindset. The Lakers know, we can only win it all if there is a Game 7.
i hope his ankles are broken and that he can never play a single game again
